A small booklet presenting an experimental text work designed as an alternative to traditional academic lectures. The piece is structured for performance by two voices simultaneously, creating a layered textual experience. The work reflects David Antin's interest in "talk pieces" and performance-based poetry, combined with Eleanor Antin's conceptual approach to art and narrative. The booklet contains text meant to be read aloud by two performers, exploring themes through overlapping or parallel narratives rather than conventional linear exposition. This format challenges traditional presentation methods and engages with Fluxus principles of participatory art and interdisciplinary practice.
